Best Answer

Supervisors have access a tool called Batch Recategorization (aka "Batch Recat"), where you can recategorize a lot of questions at once.

There is currently a loophole with the Batch Recat tool that allows more than three categories to be added: If a question is already under 3 categories, and Batch Recat is used on the question, it is possible for it to be under 4 or more categories.

However, unless a supervisor is using the Batch Recat tool, only 3 categories are allowed per question.

With well over 20 million questions that have been asked, adding questions to categories is a way of attracting the correct person - or people - who will best be able to answer your specific question.
